Malachias 1
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of his messenger. Lay [it], I pray you, to heart.
Teny faminaniana avy tamin’ i Jehovah nampitondrainy an’ i Malakia ho amin’ ny Isiraely.
2 I have loved you, says the Lord. And you said, Wherein have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
Efa tia anareo Aho, hoy Jehovah; nefa hoy ianareo: Inona no nentinao nitia anay? Tsy rahalahin’ i Jakoba va Esao? hoy Jehovah; nefa Jakoba no tiako,
3 and hated Esau and laid waste his borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?
fa Esao no halako, ka nataoko tany lao ny tendrombohiny, ary ny lovany natolotro ho an’ ny amboadia any an-efitra.
4 Because one will say, Idumea has been overthrown, but let us return and rebuild the desolate places; thus says the Lord Almighty, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called The borders of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord has set himself for ever.
Na dia hoy aza Edoma: Torotoro izahay, nefa mbola hamboarinay indray ny efa rava dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Ireo dia hanamboatra, fa Izaho kosa handrava; ary dia hatao hoe tanin’ ny faharatsiana, dia firenena tezeran’ i Jehovah mandrakizay, ireo.
5 And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, The Lord has been magnified upon the borders of Israel.
Ary ny masonareo no hahita, ka dia hiteny ianareo hanao hoe: Jehovah dia lehibe any an-koatry ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
6 A son honours [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honour? and if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord Almighty. You the priests are they that despise my name: yet you said, Wherein have we despised your name?
Ny zanaka manaja ny rainy, ary ny mpanompo ny tompony; koa raha Ray Aho, aiza ary izay hajako? ary raha Tompo Aho, aiza izay tahotra Ahy? hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, aminareo, ry mpisorona, izay manamavo ny anarako, nefa manao hoe: Amin’ inona no anamavoanay ny anaranao?
7 In that you bring to mine altar polluted bread; and you said, Wherein have you polluted it? In that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and that which was set thereon you have despised.
Amin’ ny fitondrana hanina voaloto ho eo amin’ ny alitarako. Nefa ianareo manao hoe: Amin’ inona no andotoanay Anao? Amin’ ny fanaovanareo hoe: Ny latabatr’ i Jehovah dia fanazimbazimba.
8 For if you bring a blind [victim] for sacrifices, [is it] not evil? and if you bring the lame or the sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to your ruler, [and see] if he will receive you, if he will accept your person, says the Lord Almighty.
Ary raha jamba no entinareo hovonoina hatao fanatitra, tsy ratsy hoe izany! Ary raha mandringa sy marary no entinareo, tsy ratsy hoe izany! Atero ho an’ ny governora manapaka anao ange izany, moa hahazo sitraka na fitia aminy va ianao? hoy Jehovah Tompon’ ny maro.
9 And now entreat the face of your God, and make supplication to him. These things have been done by your hands; shall I accept you? says the Lord Almighty.
Koa masìna ianareo, andeha mifona amin’ Andriamanitra hamindrany fo amintsika fa ny tananareo no nahatonga izany, moa hankasitraka va Izy noho ny aminareo? hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
10 Because even amongst you the doors shall be shut, and [one] will not kindle [the fire of] mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands.
Enga anie ka hisy aminareo handrindrina ny varavarana ka tsy handrehitra afo foana eo ambonin’ ny alitarako! Tsy hankasitraka anareo Aho, na ta-handray fanatitra amin’ ny tananareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down [thereof] my name has been glorified amongst the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great amongst the Gentiles, says the Lord Almighty.
Fa hatramin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro ka hatramin’ ny filentehany dia lehibe ny anarako any amin’ ny jentilisa, ary any amin’ ny tany rehetra no handoroana ditin-kazo manitra sy hanaterana fanatitra madio ho an’ ny anarako; fa lehibe any amin’ ny jentilisa ny anarako, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
12 But you profane it, in that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and his meats set thereon are despised.
Fa ianareo kosa manamavo izany amin’ ny fanaovanareo hoe: Voaloto ny latabatr’ i Jehovah, ary ny haniny aterina eo dia tsinontsinona.
13 And you said, These [services] are troublesome: therefore I have utterly rejected them with scorn, says the Lord Almighty: and you brought in torn victims, and lame, and sick: if then you should bring an offering, shall I accept them at your hands? says the Lord Almighty.
Hoy koa ianareo: Tsy mba hasasarana lahy! ary ikifonanareo izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; entinareo ny nalaina an-keriny sy ny mandringa sy ny marary, ka dia aterinareo ho fanatitra; moa ta-handray izany amin’ ny tenanareo va Aho? hoy Jehovah.
14 And cursed [is the man] who had the power, and possessed a male in his flock, and whose vow is upon him, and who sacrifices a corrupt thing to the Lord: for I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and my name is glorious amongst the nations.
Fa voaozona ny mpamitaka, izay manana ondrilahy ao amin’ ny ondriny, ary mivoady, nefa mamono zavatra misy kilema hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny Tompo. Fa Mpanjaka lehibe Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ary ny anarako dia mahatahotra any amin’ ny jentilisa.
